A sculpture of a worker emerging from a sewer hole (or a worker trying to peek under the pedestrian dresses according to another version). The statue was erected in 1997 and became one of the symbols of Bratislava. Legend says that if you touch his head, your wish will be filled.

Please note that the manhole cover that appears on the statue is on the site

A similar motif of using a manhole cover as part of a sculpture is found in New York City
